Default Plastic tip gauge broken in gearbox

Hello everyone,
This afternoon wanting to measure the transimission oil level with a long dipstick, when I took out the dipstick, the graduated plastic tip stayed somewhere either in the oil passage either in the tank. I obviously did not restart my Cross but suddenly I do not know what to do because I do not even know if it possible to extract this small plastic part with a emptying !!!! Does anyone have an idea how to do without breaking everything?
Sorry about my English imperfections but thank you for your help...

There is a filter in the transmission that will not allow the plastic piece to do any damage.
It will just sit in the pan until you decide it's time to do a fluid and filter change.
Don't worry about it.

Thank you for your response but the plastic part is not in the engine but in the transmission (automatic). Is a risk to let like that?

As he stated - There is a filter IN the transmission. No worries.

Thank you for your reply. Tomorrow I will restart my Cross and I will go to the garage soon for transmission oil emptying...
